Dear Home Secretary
Mr. Delshad Namiq Zorab - D.O.B:01-07-1956-Home Office Ref: H1050750 was detained on Friday 13th February and is currently held in Rotherham Police Station awaiting transportation to an Immigration Removal Centre, despite the fact that his case is still pending.
Delshad came to the UK in 2003 to escape persecution by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan party (PUK), the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and by the Baathist regime. Delshad is a member of the worker communist party of Iraq, a banned organisation (in Iraq and Kurdistan) and has face persecution over a number of years. He has and continues to be an active member of the WCPI and he consistently fights for the rights of children, women and workers’ rights.
Recent deportees to Kurdistan and Iraq have been killed in car bombs, kidnapped and have committed suicide since going back. Many live in hiding. The same parties whose persecution forced Delshad to leave Iraq – PUK and KDP – are now in government. They have been condemned by human rights groups, including Amnesty International, for imprisoning human rights campaigners and those who oppose them politically.
Delshad has been outspoken of his criticism of them from the UK. He has lead and organised demonstrations and meetings about war and violence and taken a leading role in a number of activities throughout the UK.
He is an active member of the International Federation of Iraqi Refugees, organising and attending demonstrations outside the Kurdistan Regional Government’s offices in London.
If he goes back to Iraq I am afraid his life will be in serious and imminent danger. He will be a huge loss to his local community in Doncaster and the many groups and causes he is involved in.
I hope very much that you will release Delshad Zorab from detention and grant him indefinite leave to remain.
Yours Sincerely,
